It's gonna be one of those weeks, apparently. By the time I got home yesterday I was so wiped out that I gave VanGogh the wrong meds. I pre cut everything because 4 of the meds need to be cut into quarters and 1 is eighths. Two look almost exactly the same, especially when cut, so I just do it ahead of time and put the little pieces in an empty gelatin capsule, which also means I can pill him once and get 5 meds in. The meds he gets in the morning are different than at night,and they're in separate pill organizers that are different colors. Most of the time, this is idiot proof. Luckily all but one of the 5 meds he gets in the morning are safe to give twice daily because he's on a low dose. His clopidogrel is a little concerning because it's a blood thinner. It's not toxic, but if he starts bleeding, it'll be really hard to stop. Luckily no signs of anything this morning and I skipped his meds-it's not super risky to double dose once, but I don't want to lower his heart rate and blood pressure too much either, since they're well controlled on the low dose (this is one reason why it's important to learn what your/your pet's medication actually does...we're pretty good about this, but so many people don't have a clue-write a cheat sheet and keep it with the bottles if you have to, "atenolol-lowers heart rate" is good enough, but ideally include the dose too "1/4 25mg tab once daily"...this could be insanely helpful in an emergency situation)

I'm still exhausted..my period can start any freaking time at this point, then I'll be able to actually sleep. And the past few days we've had terrible air quality from the Canadian fires. Was supposed to be better today but they've extended the air quality alert. I can definitely feel it, especially after running this morning...that may not have been the smartest idea but I need the endorphins. I'll be inside the rest of the day at least, and hopefully it won't be such a crazy day. 

I hope everyone is doing ok. Today's cute photo will be puppy smiles from Miki  :)
